After half a day, Sean and his party arrived at the first destination.
"Is that the blood sucking vine?"
After getting off the wagon full of dull atmosphere, Sean saw at first sight one of the goals of the trip for him and others-the blood-sucking vine.
It is a group of vines that grow on a road leading to the north, crossing the road like a barricade, sealing the road.
The vines are blood-like dazzling red, and they grow extremely luxuriantly, like intertwined tree vines entangled tightly with each other, forming a low and very wide plant wall.
However, that is not something to appreciate.
Because, Sean could clearly see that the vines were all like blood vessels, not only bulging and contracting repeatedly as if they were transmitting something, but also constantly peristaltic, looking quite disgusting.
If he had just been summoned into this world and saw such a scene, Sean felt that he must have started to vomit.
"Is this a monster?"
Sheehan murmured a little disgustingly.
Next to him, Vivian, who was pulling a carriage, walked over, while answering Sean's self-talk.
"No, that's not a monster. It's just a plant that grows in places where it has been exposed to a lot of blood. Although it looks like a conscious monster, it is actually no different from other plants. The only difference is that it never It absorbs water to grow, but only absorbs blood, so if you accidentally get entangled in it, you will never escape. Those vines pierce the skin and suck the blood from the whole body and die. For many people , This blood sucking vine is no different from a monster."
Not only that, but the vitality and toughness of this blood-sucking vine seems to be quite strong. Once it grows, it will multiply at a very fast speed, and it will not stop until the blood components in the earth are absorbed. Normally The sword cannot even cut off a layer of its skin, and if it is too close, there is a danger of being entangled in blood sucking. Therefore, in many places, these blood sucking vines have brought a lot of trouble.
"It is very difficult for ordinary people to remove this kind of vampire vine. For this reason, no matter which town it is, if a large number of vampire vines are found nearby, it will be removed by the town management team or entrusted to the adventurer's guild. For the adventurers, let the adventurers clean up, so as not to cause excessive damage and hindrance."
Vivienne patiently explained.
"This time the blood-sucking vine grows on the only way to the northern town. It must have caused a lot of losses to many merchants, and it has also brought a lot of inconvenience to the exchange and trade between the two towns. Let's remove them as soon as possible. ."
With that, Vivian looked at Melika.
"No problem? Melika?"
Vivian asked.
"No... no problem."
Melika immediately tightened the staff in her hand, glanced at Sheen without a trace, and then walked out.
Seeing this, Sean raised his brows.
Because, he seemed to guess how to remove those blood-sucking vines next.
"It is very difficult to remove the vampire vine with ordinary swords, and you can't approach the past casually, it's too dangerous." Vivian smiled after seeing Xien faintly expecting something, and said: "So , The best way is to set off a big fire first, burn them all, and then slowly dig out the roots that have plunged into the ground to prevent them from growing again."
However, due to the extremely high vitality and resilience, if an ordinary fire is set off, it will probably take a long time to burn.
unless...
"Use magic directly to burn the blood-sucking vines at once."
When these words fell from Vivian's mouth, Melika moved ahead.
"——This is the breath of the Sky Wheel——"
Melika raised her staff and chanted a solemn spell from her seductive red lips.
"——The scarlet fire spirit, the transparent truth, using prayer as fuel, rises here——"
At this moment, Melika's face no longer maintained the previous tightness and tension, but as if she turned into a natural fairy, curling up magic power on her body while shouting loudly.
"Heaven Fire!"
On the staff raised high by Melika, the crystal inlaid on the top of the staff burst into light.
Suddenly, a stream of heat emerged from the sky above Melika and turned into countless flames, like a rain curtain, spraying on the blood-sucking vine.
The flames turned the surrounding area into scarlet, as if the glow of the setting sun was called, and the temperature in the air continued to rise.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
In the next second, the endless rain of flames fell on the blood-sucking vines, like an explosion, successively set off fire waves, completely covering the blood-sucking vines.
That blood-red vine fell into the flames and was burned.
"—!"
Like a silent scream, the blood-sucking vines all struggled frantically in the sea of fire.
In that scene, I believe that no matter who sees it, they will not think that they are just plants, but will, like Sheen, seriously suspect that they are monsters.
It's a pity that the monster at least knows how to run away or counterattack when facing a life-and-death crisis, but the blood sucking vine can't do this, it just writhes in the sea of fire, as if making the final struggle.
Before long, under the fire, the vines successively turned into coke and were burned to the end.
The air is completely filled with the high temperature and scorching heat of the flame.
"That's magic..."
Sheen, who was illuminated by the fire, watched this scene, not knowing whether it was moved or emotional.
Although in the monster forest, Sean saw monsters that could breathe fire and lightning more than once, but seeing magic like this was undoubtedly the first time for Sean.
Sheen stared at the back of Melika who had performed this magical feast.
Until the blood sucking vines were all burned, the fire was like an illusion, and as Melika put away the magic power, it gradually extinguished.
That large piece of blood-sucking vine was burnt up, leaving only a spot of scorched black.
"Huh..."
Melika felt relieved and put away her staff.
"Thanks a lot"
Vivienne just stepped forward and condoned Melika.
"It's still as powerful as ever."
Thiel also made a light evaluation.
"As expected to be an elf..."
Lumia, who was holding Thierry's arm, cast an admiring look at Melika.
In response, Melika just shook her head and said: "I didn't do anything special, just used magic as before."
With that said, Melika's face also burst into a smile.
Obviously, in the face of these companions, Melika's emotions were still not tight and tense, so that she slightly recovered her original personality.
Seeing this, Sean, who had originally planned to go forward together, stopped.
Seeing Melika's obvious smile from the heart, Sean gave up a plan that had just arisen.
"It seems that there is no way for the other party to teach me magic."
I have to say that this is a pity.
but...
"Magic?"
Feeling the abundant magic power flowing in her body, and then thinking about the [Magic] skills she possessed, Sean felt that she should find a chance to learn magic.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of one's own ability.
